Abstract
The Aα subunit of human protein phosphatase 2A forms crystals in space group __P__2~1~ with cell dimensions a = 104.0, b = 174.9, c = 168.2 Å, and β angle = 90.2°. At cryogenic temperatures, the crystals diffracted to a resolution limit of ∼ 3.0 Å. Based on the unit cell dimensions and a calculated molecular mass of 65,277 Da, the Matthews coefficient suggests eight molecules per asymmetric unit. Two native data sets were collected to a nominal resolution of 3.0 Å and merged to provide a set that is 93% complete, with R~svm~ of 9.9%.

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) consists of 3 subunits: the catalytic subunit, C, and the regulatory subunits, A and B. The A and C subunits both exist as 2 isoforms (␣ and ) and the B subunit as multiple forms subdivided into 3 families, B, B and B؆. It has been reported that the genes encoding the
We have recently reported the existence of multiple isoforms of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in Arabidopsis thaliana and the molecular cloning of cDNAs encoding three of these proteins (PP2A-1, PP2A-2, PP2A-3). The reported cDNA encoding PP2A-3 was truncated at the 5' termi
Protein phosphatase 2Aa (PP-2Aa) is one of the catalytic subunits of PP-2A, which is composed of catalytic and regulatory subunits. In fission yeasts, PP-2A mutants cause mitotic defects and strikingly different cell cycle phenotypes. In rat hepatocellular carcinomas, mRNA expression of PP-2Aa was i
